I let the compiler agressively inline and target P6 and above chips. I also change the function calling convention and a few other odds and ends (you've seen my dirty #include trick, for example). As far as making a fast binary, the Intel C++ compiler is the best there is. If someone else wants to try it, you should buy both versions 4.5 and version 5, since there are some files that won't compile because it is an incredibly picky compiler. I use this procedure: Compile with Intel C++ 5.0 (for all modules left not compiled): Compile with Intel C++ 4.5 (for all modules left not compiled): Compile with Microsoft C++ 6.0 (with processor pack installed). Then, for obvious gaffes, I repair them one at a time and repeat the process. That way, I have something that runs right off the bat, and eventually, a real bolt of lightning.
